My Web sites, plus a note on using Purdue webspace

It was requested that I post the link to my site, which I showed in class today, to the blog. Here is the link.

Also, while I'm at it, here are links to my older sites:

I was going to post a highly detailed explanation of how to use your Purdue webspace for a site, but after the previous, very long explanation of hex color codes, that may be pushing things a bit. It's not too complicated, anyway, as long as you know where your Purdue "H drive" is. (The H drive is your Purdue network drive space, easily accessible from ITaP lab computers through the "My Computer" section of Windows Explorer; you'll find it at or near the bottom, with your career account username mentioned in the name, I think.) Once you enter your H drive, find the "www" folder, which should be clearly visible. Place any files for your site - HTML, CSS, etc. - somewhere within this folder (you can make subfolders inside the "www" folder if you want), and you will be able to instantly view the files in a browser by putting the appropriate URL into the address box. Here is how to start typing the URL:

http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~username/

You must, of course, replace "username" with your own career account name, but you should keep the ~. After the last slash, you must add more, but that depends on where your file is inside the "www" folder. For example, if you have a file directly inside the "www" folder called "page.html", just add "page.html" after the last slash. However, if you put a subfolder called "com315" inside of the "www" folder and then put a file called "page.html" inside of the "com315" subfolder, you'll have to add "com315/page.html" after the slash, so that the total URL is as follows: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~username/com315/page.html

If this is unclear or if you need more info, ask me in the comments.
